Brian Milner, an author, commentator and Globe and Mail journalist for nearly four decades, had such an insatiable appetite for news that when he died in late November, his wife, Sylvie Milner, considered burying him with a newspaper so he would always have something to read. His death, on Nov. 26 at Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital, was caused by complications from gastrointestinal surgery. He was 74.
Yet Mr. Milner never shoved it in anyone’s face. “He was the quintessential quirky intellectual – smart, funny and unpretentious,” Mr. Greenspon added. “He oozed a classic form of Jewish humour – witty, anti-authoritarian and egalitarian in his ability to take the piss out of everyone equally.” then completed a journalism degree at Carleton University. From there he returned to York to run the Excalibur, the student newspaper, which was a full-time, paid position.
– something he shared with Sylvie. The annual Toronto International Film Festival was the couple’s Super Bowl, and Friday night movies with Globe colleagues were a regular feature for years.
